Do you have to format your hard drive for Raid 0?

If I want to set up raid 0 do I have to format my hard drive? Also will I see any improved performance on a pair of western digital caviar blacks? I'm talking FPS or in game performance (while playing and carrying out actions in the game) here not shaving 0.5 off a loading time.

Yes you will have to format the drive and install the RAID drivers.
Quicker access times, but not more frames per second.
More FPS comes from a better video card.
